CONFIG_PREP_RESIDUAL: Support for PReP Residual Data

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_PREP_RESIDUAL has multiple definitions:

Support for PReP Residual Data found in arch/powerpc/platforms/prep/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PREP_RESIDUAL:

• prompt: Support for PReP Residual Data
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_PPC_PREP
• defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/prep/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.15–2.6.39, 3.0–3.9

Help text

Some PReP systems have residual data passed to the kernel by the firmware. This allows detection of memory size, devices present and other useful pieces of information. Sometimes this information is not present or incorrect, in which case it could lead to the machine behaving incorrectly. If this happens, either disable PREP_RESIDUAL or pass the 'noresidual' option to the kernel.

If you are running a PReP system, say Y here, otherwise say N.
